Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt surpassed former Green Bay Packers DE Reggie White, by becoming the first player in NFL history to notch 15 sacks and 15 pass breakups in one season.

Watt knew he had a chance to equal an achievement by one of the most iconic players of all time for the Packers. He was only half a sack away from matching Reggie White’s 1991 feat of 15 sacks and 1 pass breakups in one season.
